Rudiano's Marian Devotion

The Feast of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary is the most important event for the community of Rudiano, a municipality in western Bassa Bresciana, in the province of Brescia, located along the Oglio River bordering the province of Bergamo. The town's parish church is dedicated to the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, a liturgical feast that falls on September 8th.

The Church and the Sanctuary

The heart of local devotion is the parish church, an imposing Baroque building whose origins date back to the 15th century, and the sanctuary of the Madonna in Prati (or "in Pratis"), linked to the area's Marian tradition. It is around these places that the patronal feast celebrations are centered.
